adily understand how they fell into the error. All he knew of the plot was from current rumor. He was writing in the room of the gentleman from Henrico, when another gentleman came in and mentioned the fact that he had seen a telegram, bearing several signatures, designed to be sent to Mr. Wise, in these words: "Your hearts think your services are needed here.--Come on." This was the information he received and he now appealed to the gentleman from Henrico to say if he was correct. Mr. Wickkam said the statement accorded with his recollection. Justice required him to say further that he had been intimately asserted with Mr. Stuart the whole winner, and that neither received information that was not mentioned to the other; and he (Mr. W never heard of the matter till he heard it mentioned in the Senate. Mr. Stuart said that he had risen merely to do an act of justice to himself and those who were absent. He had never designed to dispute unworthy motives to any one in con

Virginia State Convention.fourth day. Saturday, Feb. 16, 1861. The Convention was called to order at 12 o'clock by the President. Prayer by the Rev. Jas. A. Duncan, of the Broad street M. E. Church. Personal explanation. Mr. Stuart, of Augusta, desired to make a personal explanation. He alluded to the letter from Messrs, Imboden and Harman, read yesterday by Mr. Wise, and said he had since read it himself. The writers fell into the error, he thought, quite naturally, of supposing that he said he had positive information that there was a movement on foot to place Mr. Wise in the Gubernatorial chair. The information of which he spoke alluded solely to the fact that he, Mr. Wise had been telegraphed to. When they expressed their disbelief, he stated that he had information which he was satisfied was true, but that was in reference to the telegram, and not to the conspiracy or plot. He had no intention to intimate that the gentlemen did not write what they beli

ow of Norfolk City, and Johnston of Lee and Scott. Mr. Stuart asked to be excused from service as he was a member of the Senate as well this body, and would be compelled to neglect his duties there if he were to give the attention to this committee that its importance demanded. He was excused, and Mr. Baldwin, of Augusta, was appointed in his place. Mr. Clemens also asked to be excused from saving, on the ground of physical disability. The request was granted, and Mr. Jackson, of Wood, was appointed instead. The President announced the Committee on Elections as follows: Messrs. Haymond of Marion, Goggin of Bedford, Brown of Preston, Chambliss of Greensville and Sussex, Caperion of Monroe, Ambler of Louisa, Gray of Rockbridge, Hunton of Prince William, Campbell of Washington, Treadway of Pittsylvania, Hall of Lancaster, Sheffey of Smythe, and Patrick of Kanawha.

ill regard such acts as an invasion of the rights of sovereign States, and should said authorities undertake to collect the duties on foreign importations introduced, or about to be introduced, into any such States, Virginia will regard any such acts as coercion, and that her faith has been pledged, and is hereby again pledged, as far as it can be, to resist with all the means in her power, all such acts of invasion and coercion. Referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Richardson, of Hanover, submitted the following: The people of the Sovereign State of Virginia, in general Convention assembled, do declare and publish the following resolutions: 1. That the compact by which the several sovereignties composing the United States of North America were united in a confederacy, has been repeatedly violated by individuals and States composing the Northern part of the same. 2.

sponsibility of keeping the peace. Thus, he believed, could the Union be restored and preserved in its integrity. Mr. Moore wished to notice one or two points in the gentleman's remarks. He was not aware that he or the people of Virginia had any master but the God in Heaven. He meant to submit to neither the North nor the South, but was determined to maintain the rights of Virginia. As to where we should go, he meant to wait till he found out, whether it was before or after the fourth of March. Mr. Wise.--Too late. Mr. Moore did not mean to be hurried. The North may have the purse and the sword, but the purse has nothing in it. [Laughter.] He meant to wait and see what could be accomplished by the Peace Conference. He was opposed to running away at the bidding of the Yankee States, as well as to being dragged out by the Cotton States.
